Using a professional property management company is a worthwhile investment in many respects. If you buy property, you get insurance, right? Well, why would you make that investment and not ensure that your property (and tenants) will be competently managed?

Seasoned real estate investors know the drill — a good management company is worth its weight in gold, because of all the expertise they offer and for the peace of mind they lend.

Benefits of Using a Property Management Company

Property management companies have years of experience in a broad market. They can tell you exactly what the going rate for your property is and pre-screen tenants for you. They know what red flags to look for without running afoul of anti-discrimination laws or landlord scams.

Happy, solvent long-term tenants mean less turnover, less vacancy, and often, less wear-and-tear to the property, not to mention all the expenses of readying an empty unit for new occupation: changing locks, painting, small repairs, and more.

In addition, a good property management company will run preemptive maintenance checks, which can potentially save thousands in costly repairs. Plus, they often have preferential relationships with tradespeople, receiving quicker service and often better rates.

Finally, there’s the obvious: a property management firm collects rents for you in professional and timely manner. Tenants know not to try to wheedle or beg because they know that property managers are professionals who are just doing a job. That lets them be the bad guy and saves you all kinds of worry and hassle.
